The BBC reporter interrogates a hijab-wearing Muslim woman about her beliefs and leadership role in the Muslim Council of Britain. The woman is critiqued for her treatment of the sister of a Muslim woman and her believe that Islam is a "dark phase" of feminism.

00:00:00 The woman in the BBC baby-birthing interview was criticized for her treatment of the sister of a Muslim woman. The woman said that there are female imams in the UK, but that representing women in the work that they do is more important than examining their spiritual role.

  • 00:05:00 The BBC reporter interrogates a hijab-wearing woman about why there are no female imams in Islam. The woman argues that because there are no female imams, there are no female scholars and no female leaders. The BBC reporter points out that this is not true, as there are female rabbis and female leaders in other religions. The woman responds that these women are not qualified to be female imams because they do not believe in female prophets.
  • 00:10:00 The BBC reporter interrogates a hijab-wearing woman about why she believes Islam is a "dark phase" of feminism. The woman responds that there are different paradigms in play and that Islam is not the same as second-wave feminism. The reporter then asks why women should be drafted into war, and the woman responds that it's because the "tyranny of the majority" is happening.
  • 00:15:00 The BBC reporter interrogates a hijabi woman about her leadership of the Muslim Council of Britain, which is seen as a step forward for muslim women in Britain. However, the reporter finds the questioning unproductive and belittles the woman for her achievement. The sister of the woman feels bad for her and offers advice on how to improve her own Islamic paradigms. The reporter admits that she does not know as much about Islam as she should and that the sister's achievements should be celebrated more in the media.
  • 00:20:00 The YouTube user discusses how his sister was bullied at school and urges people to share the video to help her. He also encourages viewers to send the video to Emma Barrett, a feminist friend of his sister's, to help her "fix the ways BBC get this video down."

0:00:21 please go there i think it was the best
0:00:22 reputation
0:00:23 down in history uh it was it was
0:00:26 absolutely epic
0:00:26 with new words but today it's something
0:00:29 a bit different there's a bit of a
0:00:30 controversial topic that's been
0:00:31 happening um now we've been discussing
0:00:33 how we can tackle this i'm going to come
0:00:35 from different
0:00:35 um venues should i say jungles angles
0:00:39 yes so hijab are you ready let's get
0:00:41 straight into it because i think we
0:00:42 waste a lot of time you know talking
0:00:43 sometimes unnecessarily no problem yeah
0:00:44 okay let's get straight into it yeah so
0:00:46 this was a baby
0:00:46 baby bbc interview yeah woman's hour
0:00:49 yeah
0:00:50 isn't it ironic woman's hour but look
0:00:52 what she does to a sister a muslim woman
0:00:57 how many uh female imams are there
0:01:00 um in the uk at the moment just because
0:01:03 i presume we
0:01:04 will get to this more but representing
0:01:06 of course women
0:01:07 uh which he will do as part of this how
0:01:10 many do we have in britain
0:01:12 i mean i think let's give quick context
0:01:13 this is the reason um
0:01:16 she's um the the lead not leader man
0:01:20 of the muslim council of britain yeah is
0:01:22 it she's the new
0:01:23 if i'm not mistaken yeah she's she's the
0:01:26 head like she's the
0:01:27 director now with the muslim council of
0:01:29 britain yeah okay yeah so
0:01:31 just imagine you have just been like
0:01:32 awarded something yeah you're a champion
0:01:34 yeah imagine
0:01:35 yeah you've done something and this is
0:01:37 how you've been treated
0:01:38 again i'm not i don't have a clue on
0:01:40 these numbers because my role is making
0:01:43 sure that
0:01:44 we include our affiliates particularly
0:01:46 women in the work that we are doing and
0:01:48 making sure that
0:01:49 um where our structures as well as the
0:01:52 work we do
0:01:53 and are truly representative so i think
0:01:55 that you know do we sorry
0:01:57 you don't know that's fine if you don't
0:01:58 know but do do we have female imams in
0:02:01 this country
0:02:02 i mean again it's not are you referring
0:02:05 to
0:02:05 chaplains are you referring to women
0:02:07 that lead the prayer what are you
0:02:08 referring to and i think
0:02:09 you tell me i i'm genuinely intrigued to
0:02:12 know of course uh female priests have
0:02:14 been around for some time
0:02:15 uh we've also seen the the advent of
0:02:17 female rabbis in this country
0:02:19 what is the picture for women leading
0:02:22 prayer in britain
0:02:23 in in muslim communities well i think
0:02:27 my role isn't really to um adjudicate or
0:02:30 to to examine that part of spirituality
0:02:34 i think
0:02:34 where women want to make those choices
0:02:37 and where you know
0:02:38 that these are all religious discussions
0:02:40 oh no no of course
0:02:42 it was just i thought because the muslim
0:02:43 council of britain's played such an
0:02:44 important role
0:02:45 in getting the number of muslims for
0:02:47 instance added to the census i mean that
0:02:49 was done at the turn of
0:02:50 of the turn of the century so we
0:02:51 actually knew how many muslims there
0:02:52 were
0:02:53 do we so do we have female imams i think
0:02:56 what's really important for the muslim
0:02:58 council in britain and the work that we
0:02:59 do is
0:03:00 actually that it's not about defining
0:03:02 you know or going into
0:03:04 the these types of questions regarding
0:03:06 spirituality but actually looking at
0:03:08 how we can benefit our communities
0:03:09 especially given the pandemic and given
0:03:11 of course the role that everybody needs
0:03:13 to be playing and we will get to
0:03:15 we will get to pandemic it's just quite
0:03:16 striking that you can't sort of answer
0:03:18 that question i recognize it's not a
0:03:20 religious or spiritual
0:03:22 role exactly i don't feel like that's
0:03:23 within the parameters
0:03:25 of my roles and responsibilities
0:03:27 especially as you know
0:03:28 the first elected female representative
0:03:35 how do you feel watching that you know
0:03:36 it's it's it's like you're having a you
0:03:37 know it was more like not interviewing
0:03:39 somebody was like having an interlocutor
0:03:41 and like like if i was speaking to an
0:03:43 atheist i would be hammering the
0:03:44 contingency argument over and over and
0:03:45 over and over again because i'm trying
0:03:47 to catch him
0:03:49 she's just you know become the chairman
0:03:52 chairwoman
0:03:52 of a muslim council yeah
0:03:56 and instead of congratulating asking
0:03:58 what she's planning on doing
0:04:00 well she was no mercy she was a no do
0:04:02 you know you don't know okay so there
0:04:04 isn't no
0:04:04 over and over six instances while
0:04:07 watching that
0:04:08 how do you feel i think there was many
0:04:10 fallacies that were committed in that
0:04:12 line of interrogation so the first thing
0:04:14 that i i think was fallacious
0:04:15 was the false equivalency uh between
0:04:18 imams and priests and rabbis
0:04:20 is false comparison because yeah so in
0:04:23 in christianity
0:04:24 you have ordinance that they go through
0:04:26 a kind of training program then they
0:04:27 become
0:04:28 either priests or whatever it is
0:04:30 depending on the dominant denomination
0:04:32 uh in judaism we have rabbis but those
0:04:34 individuals rabbis
0:04:36 and priests are usually trained they're
0:04:39 usually individuals who have
0:04:40 authority in the community so the
0:04:42 equivalent in a muslim community
0:04:43 especially in sunni islam would be
0:04:44 something like a mufti
0:04:46 potentially a sheikh and definitely
0:04:48 something like an islam or a
0:04:49 scholar so an imam is just someone who
0:04:53 leads the prayer
0:04:54 now you can have no authority like for
0:04:56 example in ramadan
0:04:58 um you have children leading the prayer
0:05:01 if if you have in a house
0:05:02 a mother and a child that's a male it's
0:05:05 very
0:05:06 possible that the the the boy leads the
0:05:09 mother in in
0:05:10 prayer even though she's much more
0:05:11 important in the hierarchy right
0:05:13 so this uh the reason why it's it's a
0:05:16 wrong question
0:05:17 in the first place or it's a false
0:05:18 equivalence is because you're comparing
0:05:20 apples and oranges
0:05:21 if you want to compare priests with a
0:05:24 group of
0:05:25 uh representatives from the muslim world
0:05:27 you should compare them with muftis et
0:05:28 cetera
0:05:29 having said that though yeah if we did
0:05:32 do that
0:05:33 i don't know about the comparison it's
0:05:34 actually quite an interesting question
0:05:35 definitely there are
0:05:36 female mufti's definitely there are
0:05:37 female aliens definitely they are
0:05:40 uh muslim but in terms of
0:05:44 proportion i don't know what i will say
0:05:45 is this before i forget
0:05:48 is that in the span of a thousand four
0:05:49 hundred years of islamic history
0:05:51 right there have been hundreds of
0:05:53 thousands of not just
0:05:55 scholars of islam that are female but
0:05:57 we're talking about prominent scholars
0:05:58 who have had
0:05:59 a lasting contribution and i'll just
0:06:01 give you one reference for that
0:06:03 dr muhammad has written a book his
0:06:06 voluminous
0:06:08 many different volumes on it's called
0:06:11 okay so it's just actually one subfield
0:06:13 called
0:06:14 hadith which is transmission and
0:06:16 teaching of hadith
0:06:17 and he catalogues in that ten thousand
0:06:20 women
0:06:21 ten thousand women in islamic history
0:06:22 okay now if you compare that like for
0:06:24 like
0:06:24 with ten thousand what women well
0:06:26 they're just women they're just exist
0:06:28 scholars scholars of just one tradition
0:06:30 one subfield which is hadith so
0:06:32 transmission of um
0:06:33 the prophetic tradition okay and in that
0:06:36 for example
0:06:37 some of the things i found were really
0:06:38 astonishing for example
0:06:43 because these are quite popular in the
0:06:46 jar of the seventh century not the one
0:06:47 the humbly that wrote
0:06:49 that another one uh
0:06:53 he had according to a tha in his uh
0:06:56 biography
0:06:56 400 female teachers now i want you to
0:07:00 imagine we're talking about the seventh
0:07:01 century
0:07:02 we're not we're not being tokenistic
0:07:03 here mentioning you know the sahaba yet
0:07:05 or the female scholars
0:07:06 that were there at the time of the
0:07:07 prophet we are talking about seventh
0:07:10 century
0:07:10 uh medieval uh arab world and this is a
0:07:14 place
0:07:14 a muslim world and a man had what does
0:07:17 it take for a man to have 400 female
0:07:19 educators it must mean that they're
0:07:20 being educated
0:07:21 and and they are given accessibility to
0:07:24 be able to educate
0:07:25 and this is one of many like thousands
0:07:27 of examples
0:07:28 the point the point is is that now is if
0:07:31 there isn't
0:07:32 a representation of female scholars now
0:07:34 today
0:07:35 in the uk or whatever it is is there a
0:07:38 problem i do think there's a problem i
0:07:39 think there's
0:07:40 something we need to do okay to try and
0:07:42 give more accessibility as was the case
0:07:44 by the way interestingly enough
0:07:46 at the time of a the prophet because he
0:07:48 he definitely
0:07:49 as is mentioned buhari he dedicated
0:07:51 times and places for educating women
0:07:53 specifically so that they don't
0:07:55 miss out and was the case with the fact
0:07:57 that you know the the habits were there
0:07:59 and was the case through islamic history
0:08:00 so i do think there's an issue
0:08:02 i think but the way that she's she's uh
0:08:04 handled that i think is completely wrong
0:08:06 it shows theological illiteracy she
0:08:08 doesn't know the differences between
0:08:10 priests
0:08:11 uh and one thing and so on one thing i
0:08:13 want to just touch upon before moving
0:08:15 into that area because there is like
0:08:16 the mistreatment uh of females
0:08:20 in today's time yes i'll go to that
0:08:23 i thought you would come from this angle
0:08:24 yeah maybe you missed it here but for
0:08:25 example
0:08:27 notice him about who are you to come and
0:08:28 tell us you're going to implement and
0:08:30 let's suppose there is no female imams
0:08:32 so what like like we need to come to
0:08:34 this angle because
0:08:35 we shouldn't be just because next
0:08:36 they're going to come and say to us why
0:08:37 is there no female prophets
0:08:39 yeah a good point so the thing is look
0:08:41 and this is where the sister was kind of
0:08:42 and i understand which is coming from i
0:08:43 can
0:08:44 you know we're in the tower sometimes we
0:08:46 try to you know
0:08:47 sugar down things we shouldn't there are
0:08:49 no female imams our religion doesn't
0:08:50 cover that and what
0:08:52 like the thing is and who are you to
0:08:54 come and tell me that i have to come to
0:08:56 your standards
0:08:57 which by the way is a false equivocation
0:08:58 because you're claiming
0:09:00 because there's no imams means there's
0:09:01 no scholars which you just debunked yeah
0:09:03 but we're saying
0:09:03 like to her world paradigm does she have
0:09:06 any right to come here and tell and
0:09:08 press a muslim woman who is a chairman
0:09:11 of the muslim council of britain
0:09:13 to come and tell her no but why why not
0:09:14 imams why not well she's the same woman
0:09:16 when it came to the issue of rabbis and
0:09:18 i don't know what
0:09:20 what did she say so emma barnett once
0:09:21 admitted she didn't believe in female
0:09:23 rabbis
0:09:24 yeah subhanallah look at hypocrisy yeah
0:09:26 rabbis go go speak to jewish lady and go
0:09:29 go question them that they don't even
0:09:30 have a right to divorce
0:09:31 and i know it's a different topic but
0:09:32 the thing is can you imagine you're just
0:09:33 pressing on the issue and who are you
0:09:35 and we need to have a backbone one like
0:09:36 there's something in the religion that
0:09:37 teaches allah said it
0:09:38 khalas i don't need to explain nothing
0:09:40 to you are you yes yes who are you
0:09:42 allah there's not imams there's look
0:09:43 there are no female imams doesn't
0:09:45 religion enough
0:09:46 to believe that no no not according to
0:09:48 99 one second
0:09:49 just because that is not allowed in
0:09:51 their religion and just because they're
0:09:52 not female prophets
0:09:53 do we see females as any less should
0:09:55 they be um female imams leading
0:09:57 men leading men no living man no but
0:10:00 is it because inferior no of course not
0:10:02 look there are things that women are
0:10:03 entitled to that man
0:10:04 we don't have a second wave feministic
0:10:06 paradigm and and for those who want to
0:10:07 know
0:10:08 what the difference is between the
0:10:09 islamic paradigm and the second wave
0:10:11 feministic paradigm
0:10:13 there are many um lectures that i've
0:10:15 done on this the fundamental flaws of
0:10:16 feminism yeah
0:10:17 uh islam the dark phase of feminism just
0:10:19 put these titles in the
0:10:20 descript in the uh search bar you'll
0:10:22 find my my
0:10:24 lectures there it's a paradigmatic
0:10:26 problem in the sense that
0:10:27 you're now imposing a paradigm on
0:10:29 something else this is another problem
0:10:31 right
0:10:32 obviously here uh in terms there's two
0:10:35 different things that are going on at
0:10:36 the same time number one
0:10:38 female scholars are what are being
0:10:41 discussed here yes
0:10:42 so this this female imam thing is a red
0:10:45 herring yes
0:10:46 would you respect someone praying and
0:10:48 bending because
0:10:49 our prayer has all kinds of positioning
0:10:51 a woman bending over in front of man and
0:10:53 kneeling over and it's seen as
0:10:54 inappropriate from our perspective
0:10:55 because of physiological anatomical
0:10:57 differences
0:10:58 and we think and we have good evidence
0:11:00 that that could
0:11:01 uh disturb somebody okay especially a
0:11:04 man
0:11:04 physiologically if they're praying and
0:11:06 what's the evidence of that look you've
0:11:07 got all female schools and all
0:11:09 male schools in your country why don't
0:11:10 you go and question something go to your
0:11:12 country
0:11:15 why don't you go and question a head
0:11:17 teacher of an all-female school and say
0:11:19 why is it that you allow such uh
0:11:21 discrimination to exist
0:11:22 the reason why they don't uh comment on
0:11:25 that is because they've allowed it as
0:11:26 part of the culture even though
0:11:28 really and truly it's something which
0:11:30 opposes them many ways second wave
0:11:31 feministic discourses
0:11:33 so the reasoning behind it if you ask
0:11:36 those who advocate for it
0:11:37 is distraction physiological
0:11:39 psychological distraction
0:11:40 so a woman or girls in a school together
0:11:42 they'll be less distracted if boys were
0:11:44 there and vice versa
0:11:45 for a man's you know the one the way a
0:11:47 man is created yeah the recently i came
0:11:48 across something on youtube yeah there's
0:11:50 something called schwartz yeah
0:11:51 and he was talking about do you know
0:11:52 this female woman
0:11:55 um hostesses in the airplane yeah
0:11:57 they're closing the door so i thought
0:11:59 like closing the what's like i thought
0:12:00 it's something you know there's
0:12:01 interesting videos there maybe is there
0:12:02 a weather closing door
0:12:03 okay i watch the video then like they
0:12:05 won't dress in a property i wish they
0:12:07 were in a skirt
0:12:07 but then i went to the comments
0:12:23 i didn't notice the door exactly get the
0:12:25 hell out of here no no no no no
0:12:26 they know it women yeah they know it
0:12:29 they they know it and so
0:12:30 this uh equality from an islamic
0:12:33 perspective and there is
0:12:34 we have our own version of equality it's
0:12:36 not identicality
0:12:37 exactly it's not identicality it doesn't
0:12:39 mean that men and women have the same
0:12:40 roles and responsibilities in
0:12:42 all cases and there are for example war
0:12:44 like it's not mandated upon women at the
0:12:46 end of the day and this is a very if you
0:12:48 think about the
0:12:49 the reality of war war is the case of
0:12:52 men okay for the most part in history
0:12:54 not just uh in
0:12:56 islamic history but cross-culturally
0:12:57 yeah going out yeah
0:12:59 and sacrificing their lives or
0:13:00 potentially sacrificing their lives
0:13:02 the point of the matter is someone goes
0:13:04 extremely safe for women
0:13:07 this is this is where second word
0:13:08 feminism kind of breaks down because you
0:13:09 start thinking about why don't you
0:13:10 campaign for the draft
0:13:12 for women to to now be compensated in
0:13:14 similar ways that men have been done
0:13:15 at home you go and keep you going get
0:13:17 your limbs chopped off i can come and
0:13:18 say
0:13:19 why am i going to walk why not exactly
0:13:21 there's lots of things right but
0:13:22 if we fail to identify differences
0:13:25 between men and women
0:13:26 then there's going to be all kinds of
0:13:28 absurdities that one can propose from a
0:13:29 feminist perspective
0:13:31 i can say well there's been there's been
0:13:32 200 years
0:13:34 of men being drafted into wars we need
0:13:36 to we need to
0:13:37 out undo this imbalance yes now we have
0:13:40 to draft women
0:13:41 for the next 11 wars for like 12 wars so
0:13:43 that we can undo the just injustice
0:13:45 the point is once again the islamic
0:13:48 understanding of equality does not mean
0:13:49 identicality so
0:13:50 there's a different paradigm and if you
0:13:52 want to be a sophisticated interlocutor
0:13:54 instead of cross-examining somebody on
0:13:56 your world view and your paradigm
0:13:58 try and understand where they're coming
0:14:00 look i don't know if this woman is an
0:14:01 enemy of islam i don't think
0:14:02 i don't think so i think she's just
0:14:04 trying to do her job really i i do think
0:14:06 because it's part of the journalistic
0:14:07 capacity to try and interrogate well you
0:14:09 have to remember something
0:14:10 you do have to remember something that
0:14:11 when you're speaking to my for let's not
0:14:13 talk about our paradigm let me speak to
0:14:14 the woman for a second
0:14:15 let's talk about your paradigm because
0:14:17 you're a journalist yes
0:14:18 you're a journalist who probably is a
0:14:20 liberal with a small l and is trying to
0:14:22 do the work of journalists but the truth
0:14:23 of the matter is
0:14:25 on your paradigm which i'm guessing is a
0:14:26 liberal feminist paradigm
0:14:28 by your questioning you need to make
0:14:30 sure you need to ensure
0:14:31 that you're protecting the rights of the
0:14:33 minorities and you're not it's because
0:14:35 there's something called tyranny of the
0:14:36 majority
0:14:37 tyranny of the majority is something
0:14:38 which is the the dominant
0:14:43 kind of people verbally otherwise the
0:14:46 minority
0:14:47 and they're tyrannizing them okay so
0:14:49 it's
0:14:50 what needs to be done for me anyways if
0:14:52 i was a liberal if i was in your
0:14:53 paradigm
0:14:54 i'd be trying to amplify the voices of
0:14:57 the minorities
0:14:58 so it can kind of create equilibrium for
0:15:00 what would otherwise be a tyranny of the
0:15:01 majority
0:15:02 which is a liberal principle so it
0:15:04 doesn't seem any it doesn't make sense
0:15:05 for me to
0:15:06 for you to bring a minority someone
0:15:07 who's representing a minority group
0:15:10 or actually a double minority because a
0:15:12 woman leader like you know that there's
0:15:14 not that many of them
0:15:15 yeah generally and only that in the
0:15:17 women's hour yeah
0:15:18 honestly yeah yeah you're getting
0:15:20 another woman it doesn't it doesn't make
0:15:21 sense
0:15:22 one second yeah a feminist yeah women's
0:15:24 hour
0:15:25 bbc liberal you're a woman and you're
0:15:28 getting a woman and degrading and
0:15:30 humiliating her
0:15:31 and you are you are a feminist get the
0:15:32 hell out of here yeah you actually
0:15:34 humiliated them
0:15:35 to an achievement that she's done in
0:15:37 your eyes okay she's become the leader
0:15:38 of the muslim council of britain yeah
0:15:39 yeah
0:15:40 instead of upholding and saying you know
0:15:41 you've done a great achievement what you
0:15:43 have to do
0:15:43 you immediately you embarrassed her you
0:15:46 made the feel like she should never
0:15:47 speak to you you should be ashamed of
0:15:48 yourself yeah so
0:15:49 you basically punished her for being a
0:15:50 woman yes if you think about it
0:15:53 so now now other muslim women go look at
0:15:55 that and think well if just
0:15:57 if this is the entitlement of being a
0:16:00 muslim spokesperson then maybe it's not
0:16:02 something i want to be and allah says
0:16:03 that in the quran what does allah say in
0:16:04 the quran what is allah in the quran
0:16:05 they will never be pleased with you
0:16:08 khalas
0:16:09 never so don't feel the sister feel bad
0:16:11 for the sister because she's thinking
0:16:12 okay how can i
0:16:12 fix this one lie very simple for me
0:16:14 there isn't there isn't our religion
0:16:16 says
0:16:16 what yeah yeah now let's go back to one
0:16:19 point here again
0:16:20 well i want to maybe finish with this
0:16:22 the reason why i found that
0:16:23 the the the line of questioning was
0:16:25 unproductive
0:16:26 not just from the islamic perspective
0:16:28 yeah because we said we've got some
0:16:29 issues that we need to
0:16:30 like let's be honest let's be honest
0:16:32 there are there are messages there are
0:16:34 mosques in this country which don't have
0:16:36 access for women
0:16:37 it's unbelievable i told you and the
0:16:38 prophet said let him
0:16:41 do not do not stop the woman slaves of
0:16:43 allah meaning the woman worshipers
0:16:45 going to the mosques of god how can you
0:16:46 how can you facilitate that
0:16:48 how can you facilitate that when there's
0:16:49 not even a space for them to break
0:16:52 up boycotted is very some cause of this
0:16:54 yeah and the thing is look me i went to
0:16:56 one masjid when i told you yeah and they
0:16:57 said
0:16:58 the uncle didn't let the sister come in
0:16:59 this space while i had to go and do
0:17:01 jamal with a sister outside because it
0:17:03 was the nightclubs
0:17:03 yeah so there are problems there are
0:17:05 problems and we see that and that's
0:17:07 within our own paradigms
0:17:08 access access is limited we need to we
0:17:10 need to help we need to work within our
0:17:12 own paradigm to allow women just like
0:17:14 just like in the medieval period and
0:17:15 just like in the in the time of the
0:17:16 prophet
0:17:17 yeah where access was was was there
0:17:20 right
0:17:21 and as a result women were edified and
0:17:23 they were edifiers
0:17:24 we need to bring that back and there's
0:17:25 no there's no other and we have that
0:17:27 within our own paradigm but it's
0:17:28 unproductive
0:17:29 okay it's unproductive for a woman who
0:17:31 is probably a liberal probably a
0:17:32 feminist
0:17:34 to go down this line of
0:17:37 questioning bullying which was number
0:17:40 one alienate
0:17:41 muslim spokespeople number two show
0:17:44 other women that this is
0:17:45 the intelligent of being a spokesperson
0:17:47 thereby
0:17:48 you know acting as a barrier to entrance
0:17:51 to such a thing
0:17:52 if you're if you're trying to promote
0:17:53 women being in power positions so-called
0:17:55 power positions from your liberal
0:17:57 paradigm
0:17:57 if you're trying to promote that this is
0:17:59 a very bad way of doing so
0:18:01 you should be you should be offering
0:18:02 support and so on so i think from our
0:18:04 paradigm and your paradigm
0:18:06 you've not achieved anything and quite
0:18:08 frankly it shows uh theological
0:18:10 incompetence and illiteracy that you
0:18:12 couldn't even know the difference
0:18:13 between an imam and a priest and a rabbi
0:18:16 and imam is nowhere
0:18:18 yes sometimes imams have pastoral
0:18:20 responsibilities
0:18:21 sometimes they can have that but it's
0:18:22 not that's not a necessary part of their
0:18:24 job sometimes they just go and lead the
0:18:25 prayer
0:18:26 this is this is literally the job
0:18:27 description leading the prayer some
0:18:29 children do this
0:18:30 it's not equivalent and so the question
0:18:32 should have been how many
0:18:34 muslim authorities do you have sheikhs
0:18:36 or sheikha's in this case
0:18:38 or mufti's or so on and compare that
0:18:40 with the rabbi and
0:18:42 if you do that by the way yeah if you do
0:18:43 that across time i will sh i will
0:18:45 promise you i'll bet my bottom dollar
0:18:48 that if you do it from the time of the
0:18:49 prophet
0:18:50 to this time no i'm not talking about
0:18:51 21st century uk
0:18:53 let's let's do a longitudinal study of
0:18:57 of the entire time period there's no way
0:18:59 i'm sorry
0:19:00 there is absolutely no way that you ha
0:19:03 that in the christian tradition and the
0:19:05 jewish tradition there's even i would
0:19:06 even go as far as say one tenth
0:19:07 yes and i'm making this claim yeah one
0:19:09 tenth as much representation
0:19:11 yeah maybe even that if i'm telling you
0:19:12 there's a book with ten
0:19:14 thousand names of by of just one
0:19:16 subfield of islamic studies
0:19:18 you can't even go there you can't even
0:19:19 go there with this we have we have uh
0:19:21 sahabi at that literally preserve the
0:19:23 tradition so
0:19:25 it's the case is closed you didn't know
0:19:27 how to question you didn't know the
0:19:28 implications of the question and you
0:19:29 didn't know what to question
0:19:31 but this is a lesson for all of us that
0:19:33 before you have these interviews on bbc
0:19:36 quite frankly you need to be ready for
0:19:38 that kind of confrontation number one
0:19:39 and number two you know get ready for
0:19:43 the muslim retaliation because we we
0:19:46 shouldn't
0:19:47 we should not allow the media bullies to
0:19:49 to do this to us
0:19:50 yeah we need to have our voices as well
0:19:52 and our sisters and look social media
0:19:54 our outlets like your channel my channel
0:19:56 and
0:19:56 our channels and so on this is becoming
0:19:59 now
0:20:00 a big way of retaliating yeah which is
0:20:03 why you need to subscribe to this
0:20:04 channel and like and share the video
0:20:05 thank you
0:20:08 for my channel oh my god by the way
